"Star Wars: Bounty Hunter" was released in 2002 for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube videogame consoles. The game tells an essential story of the Star Wars universe: why and how Count Dooku chose Jango Fett as the template for the clone army. The story in the game takes place ten years before the events of "Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones."

The game marked the first collaboration between LucasArts and Industrial Light and Magic on a game's cinematic cut scenes. In total they created over 30 minutes of cinematics which were interspersed between game levels to advance the storyline.

In 2005, Galactus discovered the .sfd video files on the PlayStation 2 version of the game and converted them to DVD compliant .mpg video files. This began the idea to create a fan preservation DVD project. Over the next year, he gathered as much material as possible from the Internet concerning the game, and mapped out ideas for a DVD project.

In the summer of 2006, MoveAlong agreed to use all the material Galactus had assembled and produce a professional quality DVD. MoveAlong created all the menu screens and handled all technical aspects of authoring the DVD.

The fruition of that partnership is "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter - Beyond The Game."

The portion of the DVD that is viewable in a standard DVD player contains over 30 minutes of cinematics presented in 16x9 anamorphic widescreen. The audio is in stereo, optimized for Dolby Surround: Pro Logic II. Also included are outtakes, commercials and trailers for the game, behind the scenes clips, character profiles, image slideshows, and even a few easter eggs!

The DVD-ROM portion of the disc includes a comprehensive archive of all things related to "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter." In this section you will find text, images, video, and audio related to the game. From concept art to gameplay videos, game music to the official web site....it's all here. You will also find "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter - Beyond The Game" DVD case and disc artwork that you can print out.
